hehe, thanks for all the tips..yeah, I already plan to view the Skytree and asahi beer building as i walk along sumida river..maybe not go up Skytree as there is entrance fee ( tongue.gif ) so sticking to TMJ.

i have similar thinking that my Asakusa/Ueno day is pretty 'empty', so I am adding Ginza and may even throw Tokyo Tower there..this will depend on how long we want to spend Ueno Park/National Museum.

Yup, I have relocated TMJ to day 3 after I return from Hakone as per your suggestion  biggrin.gif just ngam.

No real target at Shibuya so that's why i just put the crossing so that it doesnt look empty hehehe, mostly it will be shopping + walking + eating randomly free and easy.

You are good. I have actually revised my Disney day to one full day too  laugh.gif I am getting the ticket at the welcome center when I checked in my luggage. The disney monorail is Y250 per trip  sweat.gif I am targeting Journey to Center of the Earth ride  flex.gif

Last day is kinda free so now thinking wanna go Odaiba  wub.gif

Some rough budget allocation so far (~RM3000):
Accomodation 5N - RM800
Disneysea - RM230
Meal 5D - RM500
Train - RM250
Hakone/Shinkansen - RM280
Souvenir - RM1000

Add flight + miscellanous, should be about RM4500  sweat.gif

Odaiba is fun!
Check out Gundam Front, Tokyo Joypolis and Toyota MegaWeb (lots of activities inside).
I spent 1 whole day there though.

Hey guys,
I'll be going to Tokyo again in May. But this time i'm applying for visa in Singapore.
I was looking at the requirements and the photo to submit seems different from Malaysia requirements. It says 'passport size with light background'. What does it mean? Normal passport size picture with blue background?
Appreciate any help on this. Thanks.

I'm going Tokyo in mid May. Will be landing in Narita at 7.40am.
Do you think it's a good idea to go straight to Disney sea? I land on Friday morning and want to avoid weekend.

Thinking to get the limousine bus at 9.05am (don't think will be in time for the 8.05am bus).
At Disney sea, will look for lockers to keep our luggage. If not mistaken there are some at the park entrance gate?

Later in the evening will catch the JR Kanto bus (highway bus) or Keisei bus to Shinjuku to check into our hotel.

Good plan?

Hey, anyone has been to Tenya Tempura in Shinjuku? is it at the Shinjuku Center Building? Been trying to pinpoint where it is exactly.

I tried the one in Harajuku before and loved it. Would like to try again. But this time I might not be going to Harajuku, but I'm staying in Shinjuku.

Really appreciate any help! Thanks.

I landed in Narita last Friday morning. After going through immigration, me and my hubby went to get limousine bus tickets.

We got approached by a policeman, dressed in a suit. A very friendly and polite guy. He informed us of the emergency numbers in Japan and then proceeded to ask to see our passports. He asked permission to write down our passport details. During the whole time, he also made sure we did not miss our bus.

He was a very nice guy, and we had a friendly conversation. Made the whole process comfortable.

Why would the policeman stop you at all ???

I figured it was just a routine check. Seems like it's quite common.
That's why i bring my passport everywhere when i go sightseeing.
